On 7 April, a concert for evacuees from the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics took place at the temporary accommodation centre at the Glukhoman recreation facility (Bobrovsky district). The Glukhoman centre accommodates people from Donetsk, Debaltsevo, and Gorlovka. The trip was organised by VSU graduate and volunteer Daria Popova and employees of the university’s Department of Pre-University Training and Enrolment of Students.
Among the performers there were Larisa Dyakova, a singer and songwriter, Associate Professor at VSU; Aleksandr Soldatov, a poet; Nikolay Zelepukin, a musician and composer, lecturer at Voronezh State Industrial and Humanities College; and Evgeny Borozdnetsov, a singer, Deputy Director of school No. 47. The programme included both participants’ own poems and songs, as well as works by well-known authors. “The listeners actively sang along, and we sang the final song together because almost everyone knew it.
Aleksandr Zatsepin’s song to lyrics by Leonid Derbenyov from the film The Land of Sannikov truly united everyone,” noted Larisa Dyakova.
The trip also included psychological support for parents and children by psychologist Aleksey Lysenko. Larisa Dyakova presented the faculties of Voronezh State University and gave the audience handouts with information on enrolment.
